Dr. Bob,
I posted on here once before about being EXTREMELY anxious that the healthcare worker who drew my blood had somehow reused a needle... I've been told by you as well as others that my fears are groundless and irrational as no one reuses needles, especially in the United States... I just wanted to update you and let you know that I am slowly getting over this phobia and that you have helped me SO much. God bless you for the work you do. I have never heard of such a wonderful, optimistic, caring person such as yourself and as an aspiring student in medical school, I can only hope to be half the doctor you are one day, Dr. Bob. I wish you lived here in Georgia!
